Janet Jackson has reportedly split from her husband of five years, Wissam Al Mana.

The pop star, aged 50, had given birth to a baby boy with Al Mana three months ago.

Eissa was born on January 3rd. His arrival came just three months after the couple confirmed rumours that Janet was expecting her first baby.

Al Mana was Jackson’s third husband and a Qatari business magnate. According to The Mail on Sunday, the couple have decided to go their separate ways as their relationship just isn't working out.

A close friend of Ms Jackson told the publication: ‘They’re both busy people but determined to be good parents, even if they’re apart. It’s amicable and Eissa will stay with his mother, who is basing herself in London.’

The pair had tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2012.

Janet's first husband was R&B singer James DeBarge. They wed in 1984 but broke up a year later and the marriage was annulled. Her second husband was Mexican back-up dancer Rene Elizondo, from 1991 to 2000.
